Where on the following picture would it be best to fit a custom tow eye which will pop out through the front bumper a fraction, just wanna know where it would be strongest to hold the weight of the Zed as the original tow eyes will be removed due to it previously cracking my bumper from the underneath

 

Any ideas guys

 

Iv given three sectiones but iv also pointed out different possiblity's on them aswell..........any help will be good

YEP PUT ME DOWN FOR A TOW EYE :hyper:

LOL just sow it................that would look well odd sticking out of my bonnet............Mr Plod would def pull me over for that and could be a MOT failure aswell (dont care about that though :p )

 

Thanks anyway............ill try and see if i can figure it out when i go down and see if any part of the chasis is strong enough to have the tow eye bolted on to it.........if it works then ill let you know...........might solve your problem aswell

 

Catch up with you soon mate

Dont wanna get you one unless i know its gonna work but if it does then ill def get you one

could you not do a longer one and attatch it to the cross member?

 

dont think any of the bits youve circled are gonna be anywhere near strong enough?

In the attached pic..............could you circle where that bar is...........im just really blind mate :cool:

 

Looks like its possibly the best place as the bar seems rather strong from the pic were you've taken it off

 

Cheers for this mate, really appreciate the help

 

Fas

its the bit iv painted over ;)
